Today I want to share the devotional from Jerry Savelle's website. This message is so simple, yet so powerfully important!
The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe (Ephesians 1:18-19 NKJV).
Do you desire to see a change in other people and the situations that surround you? Most of us do, yet when we make the effort to get people and things around us to change, we often end up angry and frustrated.
There is a way, however, to bring about change that is both fast and long lasting. Your life will change dramatically when you allow God to change you, when you are willing to change your perceptions and beliefs.
The Bible tells us nothing happens in the natural world without something first happening in the spiritual realm: “By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible” (Hebrews 11:3 NKJV).
If you’ve been struggling with the same issue for years, or if you’re looking at a mountain that appears immovable, forget trying to make things happen yourself. Take time out to draw into God and make some changes in the spiritual realm.
- It’s in the spiritual realm that you apply your God-given authority
- It’s in the spiritual realm that you take control and make things happen
- It’s in the spiritual realm that you make changes that impact the natural
- It’s in the spiritual realm that you find the solutions to all your problems
The Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth, will reveal what you need to know; He will gently convict you where you need to change your attitude or belief. When you see the truth and make the necessary heart adjustments, you’ll view your situations completely differently.
You’ll know without a shadow of doubt that your natural world is changing because you were first willing to change.
Confession: I choose today to draw into God, seeking the heart changes He desires to make in me. I release my concern for people and situations in the natural, knowing that the Spirit of Truth will bring the revelation I need.
One of the most important decisions that a born again, Spirit-filled believer can make is to be meek! Meek does NOT mean to be someone's doormat and let people walk all over you. Meek really has nothing to do with other people, but it is our attitude towards the God of the Bible! To be meek really means to be teachable! To make the determination that God is ALWAYS right! When we differ, then I am the one who must change MY thinking to agree with HIM! When we can make that correction, then the Word of God will come alive for us as never before. We will be better able to act on the Word, and to receive the results of doing so! Are YOU ready to lay it all at HIS feet and learn and grow from here? If you are, hang on! Things are going to start being powerful and supernatural in every life that is submitted to HIM! HALLELUJAH! Let's GO! Here is Hillsong UNITED an older song that I still love called "Go":Shalom in Him!
